OK thanks. Another question I want to use the Pine to stream RTSP/RTP streams using VLC. It works on Android 5.1 with the touchscreen but no luck with Xenial. I get the first frame and that's it. I played with the HW accelerator option but same thing. Can the Pine do live RTSp/RTp streaming? I have the 2gig version is there some sort of embedded GPU in that chip?

- Ethernet (including 1000M)

- Support for all Pine64 models (512MB, 1GB, 2GB) with auto detection so Ethernet works with the same image on all models
It works good enough so it can be used as headless server, as compile platform for aarch64 or as virtualization host. You can even install a desktop environment if you wish.
These images require a 4GB medium (3700 MiB rootfs). Extend the partition with `sudo /usr/local/sbin/resize_rootfs`.

Starting with Kernel 3.10.101 it is possible to lower HDMI resolution from 1080p to 720p. See http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=980 for instructions.

hmmm... I have not had this experience.
Two things:
1. did you download off the forum or from pine64 website?
the pine64 links have been out of date for me in the past.
running:
sudo /usr/local/sbin/pine64_update_kernel.sh ## I messed this up in my unedited post - linux is hard
should resolve any discordance with that - after reboot anyhow.
2. are you using it out of the box with no alterations to the network configuration?
If you are, and you have access to your router/dhcp server check that out.
If that sounds like a lot I can put some instructions that will set a non-persistent static ip address and see if that is the issue.. such that if my commands fail - you can just reboot and the network config will revert back

1. I downloaded the OS image from the forum.
2. I did update the kernel and OS loader.
3. I have access to the router.
4. After upgrading the kernel and bootloader I rebooted the OS.
5. address issued by DHCP lease is issued in 5 days. As it is issued it is always the same during this time.
Send your instruction on blademoon@yandex.ru and I test them.

Hi,
I'm running the Ubuntu image on my Pine64 (2GB) for a few weeks now, and noticed some troubles with the network (when playing an audio stream, there were quite a lot of buffering cuts). I have a 1Gbps download bandwidth provided by my Internet access provider, and which I can verify on my laptop. I plugged my Pine64 to my network using a category 6 RJ45 cable, in the exact same way I do for the said laptop with which I can confirm the bandiwdth I'm provided with.
Today, I installed speedtest-cli to check if there was an actual bandwidth problem, and after several tests on the same server I'm using from my laptop, I couldn't get past 20-30Mbps. Even when using a server I'm less than 1km from gets me a similar result. Which isn't normal since the 2GB model should support up to 1000Mbps.
The upload bandwidth is also lower than usual (~250Mbps on my laptop, around 110-130Mbps on my Pine64), and I have a ping to this server way higher than usual.
There's currently no other devices in my local network, all the tests were made remotely using SSH (from my work place, while my Pine64 is at home), and I don't believe that SSH uses ~980Mbps from my download from my bandwidth.
As the image is supposed to allow me 1000M on Ethernet, why is it so low, and how can I fix this?

Is it possible to control the RP2 and Euler buses pins somehow already now or some tools needs to be compiled first?
Well you have the full Ubuntu ports repository - so it is usually not required to compile things like SSH.
I have not tried GPIO, I2C or SPI yet.
GPIO, I2C tested ok.
seldom use SPI.
morning, the problem you are describing is well known and fully documented on this site.
... some of the pineA64 boards (for no apparent reason) will not DO 1000mb/s.
Some folks are looking into the issue, but it does not look like there is a resolution soon. Also, if you plug into a Gbe network, your pine may not communicate ... use the ethtool to set the speed to 100mb/s

I noticed sudo reboot hangs, but sudo reboot -f does not. I'd prefer not to use the force arg. I build my own distro using debootstrap, but the problem still exists. I also noticed this with the Mate desktop image as well, but using the UI shutdown/reboot it reboots. Any ideas why this is happening?
Made a video using this version of Ubuntu to show how my live TV streams are working. Keep in mind, I know absolutely NOTHING about Linux. I am most grateful for all the help you guys on here and the IRC channel, without their help, I would have given up and tossed this board. But with their help, I am learning, slowly, but learning.
I built a Ubuntu 16.04 distro from xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1.img.xz using debootstrap. My USB wifi device is detected and driver module loaded, but nothing from iwconfig:
